"Wait!" Shouted Alisha before Faust spoke.

"What do you want, girl?" Asked Faust.

"It is true that I am weak and depend too much on others, but I am not a coward! If I have...to die for someone I love, I would gladly give my life to save him!" Shouted Alisha as she stared at Faust's crimson pupils.

"..."

Faust remained silent before speaking to Alisha again.

"Your willingness to sacrifice may be admirable, but without force, what you call sacrifice is merely suicide... "Faust disdained Alisha's words.

"What I feel is not nonsense!"Alisha seemed to have forgotten that she was facing an existence that could end her in a blink of an eye, all her restrained feelings seemed to bloom with that shout.

"If you have so much self-confidence, let's try a test then! If you manage to overcome it, you will inherit my totem, but if you fail... you will become an empty shell without emotions, lost in your thoughts for eternity!"Faust seemed to have found a new toy and could not wait to play with it.

"All right!"Said Alisha with a look of resolve.

"No Alisha, it's too dangerous!" Shouted Rainer trying to convince Alisha not to accept the trial.

"Rainer, I have always depended on you for everything, please support me in the very first thing I want to do by myself!" Said Alisha as she looked directly into his eyes.

"..."

Rainer tried to seek help from Liann, but she responded with indifference.

"If she wants to try it, let her go..." Said Liann before turning her back and ignoring both of them.

...

Sigh...

Rainer knew he couldn't stop Alisha, it was the first time she had decided to act on her own....

"All right... " Whispered Rainer as he hugged Alisha tightly.

"Thank you for trusting me Rainer." Said Alisha before kissing him on his cheek.

"Approach me to begin your trial." Said Faust.

Rainer watched as Alisha was covered by Faust's nine tails. The sweet, warm touch of her lips would be something that Rainer would never forget...

...

"...!"

After losing her consciousness, Alisha woke up in a wooden house covered with animal furs and symbols made from beast bones.

But what surprised her was the presence of two people she would never forget!

Her parents!

"Alisha, you have to get ready soon, the tribe is going to evacuate!" Said her mother as she saw her distracted.

"Mom! Dad!" Shouted Alisha as she ran to hug them both!

"What's wrong with you, did you have a nightmare?" Said her father as he stroked her hair like he used to do.

"Even the smell is the same." Alisha thought as she hugged her parents with all her strength.

"Yes, I had a nightmare, in it... you disappeared and I was left alone!" Sobbed Alisha.

"Silly girl, I told you to stop listening to Grandma Hyu's stories, I knew you would have nightmares!" Said her mother as she hugged her back.

While Alisha enjoyed her reunion with her parents, a little golden snake sneaked by her side.

"Hiii!" As a child, Alisha was frightened of the poisonous looking snake.

"What's wrong with you, daughter?"Asked her father.

"A-a snake!" Shouted Alisha as she pointed to the golden snake, but when she turned back to look at it, the snake had vanished!

"Do you still thinking about the nightmare? Pick up your belongings so we can leave in a few minutes." Said her father before leaving the room.

"..."

Alisha listened to her parents and picked up her belongings before leaving the house.

"I hope we'll be back soon..." Murmured Alisha as she grabbed her mother's hand.

...

The whole tribe had gathered at the entrance of the village to evacuate, his grandfather was leading the evacuation to a larger tribe which he was related to.

After crossing the village entrance, Alisha saw that golden serpent again on a tree branch!

"Mom, the snake is there!" Shouted Alisha to her mother, Fleur.

"Alisha, there is nothing, my sweetheart, they are your nightmares playing with your perception." Said Fleur as she continued her way.

"I feel like I know that snake... " Murmured Alisha as she followed her parents.

...

As Alisha relived her last memories with her parents, Rainer and his group surrounded Alisha's body in the reality.

"Why doesn't she wake up?" Asked Rainer worried.

"I am showing her... her worst trauma, apparently, she has not yet overcome the loss of her parents... now it depends on her to continue forward her life or surrender to her own weakness... "Said Faust as he lay on the floor and stared at Alisha, it seemed that he saw the same things as Alisha in her dreams.

"Will you succeed in overcoming your weakness and be a support for others or will you be overwhelmed by your traumas and live for eternity in your weakness..."Sighed Faust before closing his eyes.
